It's blatantly obvious Gabe wants his new console out, with Steambox on all media devices, including digital signage, to be ready, to lay out this new foundation, before introducing HL3 to all that , hell why not stop there and peg it to models wearing Google Glass eyewear and watch them trip on the catwalk runway, lol.

Then Gabe will have 900 Billion Dollars to finally buy EA and dissolve it to Kingdom Come.
